LAHORE: Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif on Saturday said that the United States should learn from Pakistan’s experiences in the war against terrorism rather than threatening or blaming the country.
Reacting to US’s harsh statements after the United Nations vote on Jerusalem, Asif took to Twitter and said: “frustrations on diplomatic front in UN and war in Afghanistan reflected in US statements.”
Frustrations on diplomatic front in UN & war in Afghanistan are reflected in statements of US administration..dont blame or threat us, learn from our experiences in war against terror..if that is our common objective

On Friday, more than 120 countries defied US President Donald Trump on Thursday and voted in favour of a United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) resolution calling for America to drop its recent recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
Trump had threatened to cut off financial aid to countries that voted in favour.
A total of 128 countries backed the resolution, which is non-binding, nine voted against and 35 abstained. Twenty-one countries did not cast a vote.
